They never gave her fluids and she was extremely dehydrated which caused constipation! No help! After she died they recommended the worst mortuary ever! She was to be cremated and it took weeks to accomplish and their location was extremely inconvenient to the family! I voice my concerns on their website and they never even bothered to respond! It appears they are all about the money. Although I cannot prove this it appears they obviously get referral fees. They obviously never researched to see if the businesses they recommend are reputable! If you have a loved one in crisis DONOT go to Hospice of the Valley!

Five stars. People are dying to get in here…read more We loved the kind staff and convenient facilities, so it was a perfect place for the imperfect situation. Danielle was especially attentive to our family's needs. The private room was comfortable, clean, and climate controlled, with access to the sunlight outside and a chair comfortable to sleep in. Best of all there were no restrictions. We could visit any time. We even brought in my family member's derpy cat that doesn't blink. He's on the catism spectrum. The lobby is a bit small and dated with a strangely-placed TV, but at least it's cozy, with wifi, plus they have free coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and water. No waffle iron yet. If you need anything else, a giant market is just steps away. I highly recommend this location, even though they don't have returning clients.

I had so many issues with this place that it took me filing with the BBB to get resolution. Day one a nurse arrived who said she was off but decided to come anyway to sort out meds. From the moment she walked in the door, she was a mess. I had to ask her to step outside because she was making me anxious. She was so far in over her head that I asked for another nurse to come out. The nurse freaking out left and decided an hour later to just walk into my house without calling or knocking. Bad move! You don't ever just walk into someone's home without them knowing and surely after you said you were leaving. You could have been seriously hurt! Common sense! She set the tone that was my entire experience with this company. My first nurse was all clinical. Sorry that doesn't work for me. You have to have compassion, you have to listen to the caretakers. Your unsolicited "advice" about me needing to rearrange my place was none of your business and out of line. How dare you think you're entitled to tell me how to arrange MY home. Just keep your voice down for the 5 minutes you see the patient. It's not that hard. After she and a cna broke two pieces of furniture and I asked for them to be replaced (denied), she wasn't welcome anymore. My furniture WAS replaced after I escalated it to people who weren't blowing smoke up my butt (Norma Jean ). Terrible team "leader". After the nurse change, I was chastised by the social worker who I used to really like. She asked why I wasn't comfortable coming to her all while defending the nurse I let go. Hmmm, I wonder why I wasn't comfortable talking to you........ You all were so concerned on protecting a nurse I didn't want you forgot you had a client to serve. My second nurse wasn't better and when I caught her in a lie and called her on it, the relationship was irreparable. Her fake attitude when calling just made visits dreadful. I hated every part of the experience with this company. Resources available were brushed off or denied. They made things so much worse when their job is to make them easier. I've had prior experiences with hospice and this was by far the worst. Stay far away! I CANNOT recommend them.

My mother spent her last week on earth at The Serenity House. It sounds old-fashioned and corny, but finding them was the "God send" I was looking for and needing. I was feeling lost and frightened about the process of caring for my Mom in her last days. Physically and emotionally it can be challenging. You love you family and want to take care of them, but the time may come that you need supportive services. The staff at Serenity House were very competent and caring. My Mom was very well cared for and I appreciate how they would brace her with pillows to keep her comfortable and relief pressure. The facility was always clean and the workers all genuinely seemed to enjoy their jobs and seemed to relate well and respect one another. It is worth noting that it is a very lovely facility and the rooms were very nice. I owe them a debt of gratitude for not only what they did for my Mom (who had dementia) and really slept her whole time there, it is was they provided me.

His behaviors became increasingly erratic, needing family to stay with him 24/7, even though he was in Assisted Living. 3 ER trips in 3 days, physicians at the ER were all saying "this is end of life" - but the smaller hospice couldn't support us with the services we needed - basically, keeping him comfortable, calmed, able to rest, and not so fearful. We made the call to HOV and that same day, EVERYTHING was being addressed. He went from literally trying to climb the walls, injuring himself, thinking there were killers hiding in his shower, to resting quietly. We were kept updated by the compassionate HOV team. This made everything so much easier. The stress on family during this time is unbelievable - to know your loved one is in such great care, that we don't have to be there 24/7 while juggling work, home, kids, etc. is an incredible weight lifted. I've also worked with HOV on numerous occasions for work. As a nurse, I'm confident in recommending HOV. I also needed the 8 hours of training mandated by AZ for dementia care - and HOV provided that for free to our entire staff and did a tremendous job. Your outreach across the valley is incredible and your stellar reputation is well-deserved. Many thanks!

I'm a seriously ill patient with severe, progressive, intractable pain due to advanced chronic…read morepancreatitis and related complications. I reached out to Sage Hospice, Primary & Palliative Care hoping to receive the comfort-focused, home-based support they publicly claim to provide. Instead, I was met with deceit, slander from the medical director, and a cruel emotional bait-and-switch -- not once, but twice. My first interaction with the Sage location in Tucson involved a care specialist who seemed to express genuine compassion. When I explained that I live in Sells, AZ -- a rural tribal area -- he assured me we could work around the geographic issue if I had a Tucson address for appointments. I provided one, a relative's address, and he acted as though I was a good candidate for palliative care. But behind the scenes, their medical director -- who had never evaluated me, never spoken to me, and had not even reviewed my case thoroughly -- labeled me a "drug seeker," claimed I was "seeking for high doses of opiates," and refused to provide care. This reckless accusation came without a single clinical conversation. I have extensive medical documentation confirming the severity of my condition. I was seeking palliative care, not addiction services. Furthermore, I have NO history of addiction, it does NOT run in my family, and I've never abused pain meds. I was and am seeking RELIEF for my uncontrolled severe pain, pain that has utterly debilitated me and destroyed my life. But instead of Sage helping me, I was cast aside and stigmatized. That alone would have been enough to earn this review. But then, several weeks later, Sage reached out to me again, asking if I still wanted services. Desperate for help, I said yes -- because I'm suffering every day with no relief and no one else will help me. They gave me hope again. Only to betray me again. After this second round of false hope, I was finally told the truth: Sage "refers out" for pain management -- meaning they don't actually offer palliative care at all. For crying out loud, the verb "palliate" means TO RELIEVE!! Pain management is the cornerstone of palliative care. I used to be a hospice nurse in the past, so I am very well-versed on palliative care, both end-of-life palliative care (hospice) and palliative care for a serious, life-altering disease (which is what I need badly). To claim to offer palliative care but refuse to actually treat pain is misleading at best and fraud at worst. Refer out to WHERE? In southern Arizona, pain clinics are almost exclusively interventional-only, which means they reject patients with complex, high-level chronic pain unless they agree to invasive procedures or stop taking all pain medication. I am far too sick to endure their hoops and unethical demands. What Sage is really saying is: "You're on your own." Sage Hospice, Primary & Palliative Care falsely advertises compassionate care and symptom relief, but they do not treat severe chronic pain and they will stigmatize you behind your back. They will waste your time, raise your hopes, and disappear when you need them most. If you're suffering and seeking real palliative support, avoid this company. Their actions left me more isolated, demoralized, and abandoned than ever -- and I am still in excruciating pain.

Although their care staff is very good, the company itself is TERRIBLE. My Mom was in the end stage of her battle with Alzheimer's when she became a resident there on Mar 11. We paid the first month's rent and a $1900 "security deposit" on Mar 11. My point of contact was Cheri Lopez, who was gushingly nice that day. Unfortunately, that was the most communication I had with her during Mom's short stay there. Mom died on Apr 20 and neither Cheri nor her "money person", Tanya Grimmer, would consider even a partial refund of the 2nd month's rent, even though Mom was there only 9 days that month. And as of Jun 26, the company has not refunded our deposit, despite dozens of calls and emails to both Cheri and Tanya. I have now enlisted the help of the Arizona Dept. of Health Services to try to recoup this money. This kind of behavior is morally wrong and just plain mean. DO NOT BECOME A CLIENT OF THEIRS!
